I offer a fully mobile studio with all the necessary lighting, backdrops and posing stool. We will discuss your needs and space, to determine what is best!

Question 2

What is executive photography?

Accepted Answer

Executive photography focuses on creating professional headshots and portraits for business leaders, executives, and professionals. It highlights their personal brand, capturing them in a way that aligns with their role and company culture.

Question 3

What should I wear for my executive photo session?

Accepted Answer

Your session will be fairly quick, but it can still be good. We might even get your new favorite picture!  Here are a few tips that will help you love your photo:

If you wear glasses, I havetricks, so I won’t make you take them off. But if you don’t need them, choose not to wear them that day (to avoid nose dents). If they are super      reflective, I encourage you to not wear them, so we can see your eyes. 
Do not wear anything sleeveless. Your amazing arms will still look big to you in a photo, no matter how little they really are. 
Ladies, be a little more bold with your makeup. If you think it’s a little much, it’s probably perfect. If you never wear makeup, don’t worry. I will be retouching photos, and imperfections aren’t a thing. 
Accessorize!
Avoid large patterns. Solid colors (even a nice bold color), and layers are best. For example, a      sweater or dressy jacket over a top, typically looks nice in photos. Or a      top with a little character like ruffles or a collar, look better than      just a basic scoop neck (unless you are planning to wear a necklace or scarf. 
Do not try anything new with      your hair that day. Style your hair as close to how you are used to looking as possible.

Question 4

How long does an executive photo session take?

Accepted Answer

Sessions typically last between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the number of photos and outfit changes. More detailed sessions may take longer if multiple locations or styles are involved.

Question 5

What should I expect in terms of post-processing or editing?

Accepted Answer

Professional photographers usually retouch the final images to ensure they look polished. This might include adjusting lighting, smoothing out minor imperfections, and making color corrections while still keeping the image natural and authentic. You have to option to select the images that you wish to have edited, and may purchase additional edited images during this process.

Question 6

Do you offer group photos or team portraits?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many executive photographers also offer group photos for leadership teams, boards of directors, or staff. These can be arranged in a style that aligns with your company’s branding. I also offer composite group photos, which allows for any changes in the group arrangement or number.
